Publisher's Summary
Lucky
Two years ago I humiliated myself by declaring my love to an older man who clearly didn’t share my feelings. And that’s fine. One day Zach will come around. Meanwhile, I’ve built a life for myself in northern Montana, pursuing my college degree while working hard toward certification in high-risk alpine search and rescue on the side. And perhaps I’ve kept the danger part a secret from my two dads. After all, what they don’t know won’t hurt them...
Everything’s going exactly as planned until my dads send Zach to check on me just as I’m dealing with an ex who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word no. It’s bad enough Zach still thinks of me as a child; now he also thinks I’m incapable of looking out for myself. I need to get him off my back before he finds out I’m not heading to Wyoming for summer break like everyone thinks. I’m going to Glacier National Park to learn how to rappel from helicopters...
Zach
Two years ago I wanted something I couldn't have, so I threw myself back into my job as an Army Ranger and wound up scarred in more ways than one. When the army dumps my sorry self back into the real world, it’s time to start over. I accept a summer job teaching high-risk search and rescue. On the way there, all I have to do is peek in on little Lucky Reed and make sure he’s okay.
He’s not. Someone has it out for him, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let him get hurt on my watch. My plan is to keep him safe until he heads south for his summer job playing trail guide to tourists. Once he’s gone, I’ll be free to head to Glacier where my biggest challenge will be keeping a handful of alpine search and rescue students safe as they learn how to dangle from helicopters high above the Rocky Mountains.
It’s all fine. Until it’s not. Danger follows us to Glacier, and by the time I finally start seeing Lucky as more than the awkward teenager he used to be, I wonder if it’s too late to convince him that this scarred soldier sees him as anything but little anymore.

Great listen.
Enjoyed the book. First one I listened to with my partner. Now he knows why I enjoyed it. Narrator seemed to lose Zacs voice sometimes when jumping from Lucky to Zac. Overall still loved it.

BREAK UP YOU IDIOTS!!!!
Oh hell no!! Lucky did not just call Zack "kind"!! And when asked how Zack treated him, did he seriously say "perfect"??? I didn't just hear that!
Ok, I'm a little annoyed at this book. It could've been a 5star, it really could've. 10star even. The writing was amazing. The portrayal of Zack's PTSD and C-PTSD were phenomenal! And Lucy's strength and bravery was so admirable.
Then it died. And dragged me to hell. And tortured me for eternity.
After the fire, when Lucky packed a bag, he should've gone home. he really should've. if he'd left then and they'd spent a few years apart growing as individuals, Lucky growing up and into a strong man, Zack healing after a boat load of trauma work, and then they reunite years later as better men (with some baggage, but better than before), this would've been the best book ever!!! They would've been together long enough to recognise their potential together, but they would also have recognised that they needed to heal themselves before they could be together.
As it was.... no! Just no!! Don't get me wrong, i empathise with Zack. I really do. But Lucky should NOT have put up with how Zack treated him! And he sure as hell shouldn't be calling Zack kind or thinking the way Zack treats him is is any way ok let alone perfect! that's called Stockholm Syndrome! Lucky's belief he can't live without Zack is particularly disturbing. Zack took advantage of Lucky because he was too messed up to stop himself, and never changed despite knowing what he was doing to Lucky was wrong. This is not romantic. It's tragic. a grand gesture doesn't change that!! grand guestures are easy. The little bit of happiness at the very very end won't last. five minutes of happy doesn't equal long-term change.
Boo!
Anyway, as you can tell, I'm a little upset. This book could've been so, so awesome if only the characters had broken up for a while (something I never ever thought I'd say) and fixed themselves up. I'm sending Lucky some info on domestic violence shelters right now.
